Lyrics
[Intro]
Can't stand the heartache
[Verse 1]
Fall in love with a twisted lady
Suicide with a covergirl
Spent all your time, then you got stuck payin' the price
Woah-woah
[Verse 2]
Uptown, kick it down, into a spin
Face the wall, take it all, you just can't win
[Chorus]
Can't stand the heartache, and so bleeds the red, red rose
Time heals a broken heart, but that's just the way it goes
I can't stand, I can't stand the heartache
[Verse 3]
No, you got caught in the line of fire
Bystander innocence
You held your own till wasn't yours anymore
Waste away another day into the night
You're at home by the phone, it don't seem right
[Chorus]
Can't stand the heartache, and so bleeds the red, red rose
Time heals a broken heart, but that's just the way it goes
I can't stand, I can't stand the heartache
[Verse 4]
You held me like a prisoner
And I don't know
Why I stayed here from the start
[Verse 5]
Uptown, run me down under your wheels
I pray one day, you'll know how it feels
[Chorus]
Can't stand the heartache, and so bleeds the red, red rose
Time heals a broken heart, but that's just the way it goes
I can't stand, I can't stand the heartache
And so bleeds the red, red, red rose
Time heals a broken heart, but that's just the way it goes
[Outro]
I can't stand the heartache, and so bleeds the red, red rose
Time heals a broken heart, but that's just the way it goes
Can't stand the heartache
Time heals a broken heart
Can't stand the heartache
